DJ Qbert compares Traktor Scratch Pro and Serato
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTj-L7EKCL8&feature=player_embedded#!
Must be nice to have test vinyl… of course Q can sway masses with his review so it makes sense that NI and Serato would accommodate him. Based on this review, I wonder if he was using an SL3 (this might be a contributing factor)
I can’t wait to see how he moves forward with this.
Nice find !
I just checked out the comments on YouTube… some peeps are not happy about Q’s reluctant verdict. Very interesting that he even did a review… I would have thought that Qbert and DVS was like oil and water…sign of the times I guess!
also interesting to hear him know what other folks are using as well.
All bullshit aside - “QBERT” just picked Traktor over SSL. Thats HUGE!!!
people would have been pissed no matter what he picked.
cool find
I saw he tweeted that yesterday, but didn’t get a chance to check it out. It’s all about what software you like.
Someone in the comments made a good comment, they talked about changing the threshold setting inside of Serato so that the needle doesn’t jump with tiny (vibration tiny) movements of the turntable.
Yes Serato has FX which he did not mention, but everyone who i have ever talked to who’s tried both pieces of software prefers Traktors FX. If you ask me though Ableton FX put them both to shame 
Even more so with M4L which gets into the realms of nutzoid.
I think the difference between Traktor and Serato in terms of DVS is basically null, the technology is SOOO refined nowadays with the big DVS makers - the difference is in all the other stuff they have. Serato has the bridge, while Traktor has a slew of lots of other stuff smaller functions that when combined still give the Bridge a bit of a run for its money.
Fucking A!
My fav turntablist…now also loves Traktor.
This…is …HUGE.
!!!
Native Instruments must be itching at the bone to put Qbert’s picture up on their website…
I do agree with Bento… DVS supremacy between TSP and SSL is kinda moot point at this stage of the game. The shift away from conventional vinyl has been written on the wall for a while now… depending on how you look at it, this is an exciting time to be a DJ.
Yours and pretty much everyone elses out there 
Myself included i have to admit, though its a pretty tough toss up between him and rafik who also does a pretty decent job of the digital side of things too which i have not seen qbert get into.
Already for sale, B?
I thought the Bridge was put back until further notice?
Agreed.
I like Rafik too. There are a couple I like…but I like Qbert cuz he has basically dedicated his life to this art.
Ever seen a guitarist use a WAH pedal? They do that thing with their mouths as they are WAHing.
Qbert does the same thing when he scratches. When he is busy and suddenly does a sloooow push…watch his mouth.
LOL
Oh and on the fav turntablist-thing:
Krush is still my fave, with Qbert/Mixmaster Mike/Kentaro running a close second.
(Krush knows subtlety, which most other tend to pass on.)
isn’t a-trak using serato? i’m pretty sure he is..
Just got back from the the SSL forums. It appears the fanboys are scrambling…
LOL i bet they are !
Edit: i just read the thread and its pretty funny,
So tempting to go in and stir the pot some more but ill be good !
Nah, if that happens the whole piece looks like a set-up and the SSL peeps will be down on it hard.
If this really is unbiased, it’s a MAJOR zing to SSL, the kind that takes a long time to recover from.
Phil.
Yeah just checked out the serato forum… pretty funny how they have reacted though there are some people being cool about it on there…
like someone said “I have a strange feeling Q’s going over to the dark side of Craptor!!! Don’t do it man!”
haha
Yeah for someone with the status of Qbert to say he prefers Traktor thats gotta HURT
